My reviews queue just broke

[btluppi]

Edit: The problem was an accidental sync with WaniKani

Hey everyone, I just did some reviews followed by a batch of new vocabulary lessons. Before the lessons, I had 0 reviews due. After the lessons I suddenly have 297! That’s way more than the number of reviews that should come up during this entire day.

Has anyone else had this problem before? Is the website undergoing any maintenance? I am worried that if I try to do any of these reviews, things might get even worse.

I also noticed that during the lessons, some vocabulary would “flicker” and be replaced by a different word right when I first saw it upon clicking “next”.

Hopefully this can be reversed! 笑

[btluppi]

Additional info: all reviews that suddenly showed up are vocab reviews - likely related to a bug while doing vocab lessons

[btluppi]

OK, I think I figured it out… I accidentally synced Bunpro’s vocab with WaniKani’s by turning on “daily sync”. All I wanted was to update the furigana.
Is there a way to reverse this? I wanted to go through all vocab using Bunpro as extra practice.

Since I only started Bunpro a month ago, all my Mastered vocab came from this accidental sync. I guess I could manually reset progress for all mastered vocab

I’ve never unsynced WaniKani vocabulary before, but here are some posts that I’ve seen about WaniKani vocabulary/furigana/etc.:

Post #1: Bunpro has made some changes to WaniKani sync recently. Consider marking WaniKani vocabulary as mastered.

@veritas_nz

Daily Wanikani Sync

We have changed how linking your Wanikani account works here . Gone are the days of needing to periodically import the latest changes!

You now have the option to turn on “Daily Sync” which will get the latest changes with your api key.

We have additionally added a “Mark as Mastered” setting. If this is turned on, when you use the “Import once now” button or toggle on the daily sync, any imported vocab from Wanikani will be marked as mastered, otherwise it will import it for additional practice.

Post #2: Separating reviews for grammar and vocabulary or resetting WaniKani Vocabulary

@IcyIceBear

You can go to settings and separate reviews for grammar and vocab.

If you opt into the beta you’ll also have the option to reset wanikani vocab

@IcyIceBear

Then if you saw the last half of that message, if you opt in for beta, you can reset the wanikani sync. It’ll remove all the wanikani vocab reviews and nothing else so it won’t affect your bunpro vocab

@hotfu

As a note of caution to others, this does wipe out some of the vocabulary in the Bunpro Vocabulary Decks. It must be items that are labeled as both Bunpro and Wanikani some how.

Resyncing the “Master Content” re-adds at least some but not all of it. You could still have to manually re-add items. (Several hundred in my case.)

Post #3 WaniKani Furigana Sync

If I want my Furigana to stay up to date without importing WaniKani vocabulary, do I enable (Furigana only) or (both Daily sync and Furigana)?

It seems like I should only enable Furigana since the description on Daily sync mentions vocabulary (not furigana), but I’m not 100% sure.

@Flandre5carlet

The way I understand it you’d want to enable the Furigana toggle only.
Daily sync is for syncing your WK Guru vocab words as seasoned 1 on Bunpro.

@Jake

@Flandre5carlet is correct, you only need to add your api key and toggle on the furigana. The Daily Sync is for importing words you have covered on WK to either mark as mastered or add for more practice.

Thanks! I started to manually reset/remove the vocab that was added from Wanikani to my Bunpro review queue. It’s pretty clear which vocabulary was added this way because my accuracy is “none”. I hope that after resetting + removing from the review queue, this vocab will end up coming back to my learn queue as I work through the Bunpro decks

[veritas_nz]

I think this wording needs to be corrected on the site to make absolutely clear that you don’t need to sync Wanikani to get the furigana data synced.

Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for helping @_HA472, I’ve given you the Bunpro Supporter badge.

Uh, same here! Finished my reviews yesterday, logged in today and there are 1008 reviews ready! I submitted a bug report. But I do use WK sync. Don’t want to change any settings before I get confirmation… I only use BP for grammar, not Vocab though.

[scarecrowfield]

If you don’t use Bunpro for vocab, WK sync is not necessary. To sync the Furigana data you don’t need that option

I leave mine like this

[8bg]

A ha! I turned off the daily sync, then clicked Mark as Mastered, and now I’m back to the expected few number of reviews. It gave me 10 levels of XP in the process thanks for the tip!

[veritas_nz]

Fixed the wording FYI!
Should hopefully help out users in the future

[btluppi]

Thank you for the prompt action! It will definitely help me whenever I get up early on a Sunday and decide to mess with my settings…

[MerlinFox]

This also happened to me a few days ago.

I ended up using the wanikani reset assuming it would only remove items imported.

I had to manually add back 500+ as level 0 one at a time and slowly been dealing with all the extra reviews.

I hope the changed wording helps but definitely take a look at the reset page too.

I had words removed I had not learned on wanikani.

I guess it removes all possible words from all 60 levels.

[FiveToedSlothBear]

Yeah, I wish I’d read this before I reset Wanikani in an effort to get my reviews under control. Lost practically all my vocab progress.

[btluppi]

Sorry to hear that… I guess you can find each word that you were previously studying and set their SRS level manually on Bunpro. Maybe it would be less discouraging to just keep going through the deck and whenever a word that you already know shows up, set their SRS level manually.
